Is there a similar call to delete an extension, or to modify an existing one?

On the basis that the OP already has extension 2000 defined, he would need to 
delete this and replace it with a new definition, or alter the current 
definition, to get the required results.

Simply being able to add a new extension to an existing dialplan isn't quite 
enough.

3 logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks "Do you all want a drink?"
The first logician says "I don't know."
The second logician says "I don't know."
The third logician says "Yes!"
